FRANCES INVESTIGATION.
NJ Sarrien. Minister Of Justice, has sent
the Procurator General to assist the Proc
urator at Nancy in making an investiga-
ton into the arrest of H. Schnaebeles and
to report the facts in the case. The Project
of Meurtho-Et -Moselle, the department in
81 which Pagny-Sur MOselle is situated, has
arrived here for the purpose of comforting
with Premier Goblet in regard to the arrest
Of NJ Schnaebeles
ARRESTED ON FRENCH SOIL.
French papers are unanimous i'll the state
W ment that NJ Schnaebeles was arrested on
French soil by German officers. The Temps
publishes a dispatch from Strasburg stating
8 that the German officials suspected NJ.
Schnaebeles of having relations with
persons in Germany for the pur-
pose of obtaining information
concerning the military measures being
taken around Metz for the use of the French
military officials. The authorities of the
Foreign Office believe that the German gov
ernment will make an explanation OF the
affair that will calm the present indignation
felt by Frenchmen. Political and financial
circles take a gloomy view of the situation.
The German Charge d'Affaires has in
formed N. Flouens that Germany has not
yet definitely ascerGained the grounds of NJ
Schnaebeles' arrest, except that it was
effected 10y virtue of a judicial decree. He,
however, reserves the right to examine the
question in concert with the French govern
ment.
The inquiry in the matter has not yet
Shown whether he was arrested on French
or German territory. On being examined
Alr. SchnaebelesS said that be had protested
against violation of French territory by the
EelmaIls. He declared that he was una
8 ware OF the cause of his arrest.
